- PVC hangman prop. 2-3 hour fabrication time so far. Utilized mostly 1/2" pipe, 3/4" used at pelvis joint and chest uprights for stability.

Powered by Monsterguts wiper motor and power supply with quick connect terminated wires. Next step is to glue joints, add stuffing and clothing and build wooden structure for hanging. Sound track made with FL Studio, video editing done with Cyberlink.
Very cool prop. I love how you made the knees! Thank you for sharing.
Loved the props and the ideas. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me to be as creative in my prop building as well. "Scare 'em all!"
That's one of the better designs I've seen in a while (ie. Kicking dead man props). Nice video too.
Never thought about it. But it sounds interesting. Last year I had a total of 3 motorized props. This year I have plans to build a total of 11. When I revisit this particular prop I will see if I can modify it to kick each leg independently. Thank you for the idea!
I am making a hanging man for Halloween thanks to your video.
I cant wait to see the reaction of the passers by on the night.
Halloween is not as big in the UK but it's getting bigger each year.
Thanks for the video and Happy Halloween.
You will also need aluminum stock from Lowes or Home Depot for the linkage between motor and PVC pelvis. Hardware to bolt together should be 8-32 machine screws and nylon lock nuts. Also use PVC cement to connect all pieces except the 1/2" horizontal pelvis going through the 3/4" tees that are at the bottom of the vertical torso pieces. (This is the part that has movement) Also you can rig up some hardware wire or use hinges at the knee joints.
very cool that will look ace on the night 5*
@MMnumber9 The straight metal piece that extends from the motor to the pvc pipe for the action is bolted together using threaded machine screws and nylon lock nuts. I believe they are size 8-32 or 10-32 and about 3/4" in length.
haha, no problem. my uncle's into dec'ing his house out for the holidays, and i thought it'd be pretty awesome if he decided to make one of these, with legs that kicked at different intervals to make it seem realistic. i just wanted to see if you hand any ideas. if you do find a way to make it kick each leg independently, please post another video of how it's designed. thanks again.
Very nice. Great DIY info (the video notes are used well) ^o^
Very Nice! Construction looks alot more solid than mine. Just a note, glue may not hold up over time! I used two short sheetmetal screws on each side of the connecteors to hold pieces together. The glue just doesn't hold firm enough under the rough conditions of the kicking.
nicely done
Very impressive !
thanks dude,,,,, stay tuned i am beginning soon on mine i will post once its done
Super cool!
Thank you, I hope it holds up until the big night.
You should see if you can do something to put a pivot in the hips, with similar measure to prevent hyper-extension there.
It looks a little awkward with the legs kicking together.
Parts from Monsterguts: "Power Pack" @ $37.49 (includes wiper motor, power supply and quick connect wires) And check under "Show more" above and following link for the diagram for the PVC pipe lengths and elbows/tees needed.
Fantastic
nice!
@Bmora123 @Bmora123 You can get a new and inexpensive wiper motor from Monsterguts(dot)com. And they also sell the power supplies to power the unit, or you can just find a spare 5 to 12 volt DC wall wart and power it with that to save even more money. In the end I just ended up bolting on a flat straight piece of aluminum stock that I picked up at Lowes, then bolt the aluminum piece onto the PVC pipe that crank the legs. There are some tutorials out there on how to build these step by step.....
how does the wiper motor work do you just need the motor or do you need the wiper motor controller with it im confused??????? can you help me out.
P.S. Great job i think your props are great
@goulies100 J'utilise une alimentation de 12 volts avec 5 A à partir de l'entreprise Monsterguts

Did you have exact measurements for the framework? Excellent job btw!
What do you use to connect the wiper motor to the legs not the metal part but what holds it together like nails or rivets?
I am having a little bit of trouble here, what exactly are you connecting to the wiper motor and then connecting to the pvc pipe T to make the legs move... I cannot find anything like this at lowes or homedepot, so what should I ask for when I go there, I already have everything built and have the wiper motor ready to go... I am just having trouble with the aluminum brackets or what ever they are...
how could i prevent from the blot tightning and making it bar get stuck would a washer work
hey man the link isn’t working to find the exact pvc measurements
@rickybobbytalladega No exact measurements, just used rough measurements based on myself.
can you list me everything i will need to do this build and know what i will need to get from monsterguts? it would be most appreciated.
Where did you get get the hinges and metal rod used for the knee joints? and what might they be called if you know?
is there a way to get it so that he kicks both legs at different times?
How did you power the motor? I have a wiper motor but there is no wire or harness on it .Do you run yours on electric or a bettery?
@mojoroxylola 5-12 volts DC.
What diameter is the hole drilled in the flat stock to connect to the wiper motor and what size nuts and bolts did you use?
It has been so long since this build. I may have used either 8-32 or 10-24 machine screws with nylon lock nuts.
I'm replicating the build. Using 1/8" aluminum flat stock for the shaft so I didn't know what size hole you drilled for the wiper motor shaft
Your motor is from MonsterGuts, mines from elsewhere, your's is larger
Anyone got any blueprints for this
hey I have a question...so I built this prop, based on your design and I am having a problem with the strength (assuming) of the motor. Did you try other motors before going with a wiper motor? I tore apart an old fan so that I could use the motor.... tested first of course...but once I mounted it to the body it would not spin at all....unhooked it and it still worked, I'm guessing the motor just wasn't strong enough, do you agree?
+dngdong1876 A fan motor would have high speed but very little torque. The windshield wiper motors run slow but have more than enough torque to move most props. Check into the Monsterguts site for cheap motors. Sorry for late reply. Just now getting back into prop building. Going with a Casa Fear Ground Breaker this time.
do you have plans on how to make it
would u consider making one of these and selling them?
My wiper motor gets very hot. Does yours? Is this normal?
terminator---james cameron's first attempt.
Can you make me one I will pay mine failed :-( x
hey can u make me one ill pay for it thanks
